Summary - PORTER'S FLAT, CUMBERLAND HOUSE, KENSINGTON ROAD W8 5NX
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Spacious duplex with full luxury amenities opposite Hyde Park.
Approximately 1,658 sq ft duplex with large dine-in kitchen
A generously proportioned two-bedroom duplex in One Kensington Gardens, finished by Taylor Howes and designed by David Chipperfield. The apartment spans approximately 1,658 sq ft and benefits from under-floor heating, comfort cooling and a large dine-in kitchen — a rare combination of space and specification in central Kensington.
Residents enjoy full luxury amenities including a 24/7 concierge, valet parking, a 25m indoor swimming pool, spa pool, sauna, steam room, private treatment rooms and a fully equipped gym with personal training on demand. The development sits opposite Kensington Palace Gardens and Hyde Park, with excellent schools and high-end shops within walking distance.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is offered as a share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (988 years), mains gas heating, double glazing and fast broadband. Note the building dates back to 1900–1929 (externally), with solid brick walls assumed to lack cavity insulation. Council tax is very high, and local crime statistics are recorded as very high — important considerations for buyers weighing location and security.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking central family living or a high-quality pied-à-terre with full concierge and leisure facilities. The finish, space and services deliver immediate comfort, while the long lease and share of freehold offer long-term ownership certainty.
